OK here's how to do it

Bf2142 has SafeDisc 4.70.000, so no Mini images or anti blacklisting don't works, until they update.

So...

Make a full image with Alcohol 120%, call it the same as the original disc.
I ticked skip read errors, and advance sector scanning.
When its done, download the latest daemon tools.
Mount the image.
Now in order for it to work, disable all REAL hardware optical drives via device manger (admin tools, or control panel>system) right click and go disable.

now it should work.

This is only to be used if you have Brought Original Game. and are only using it for a no-CD/DVD options, to keep the disc safe from damage.

Use your own disc to create the image, since the image would be 3.4gb.

Put The Image in your new virtual drive. You must start Virtual CD v8. You can't double click in the folder of your explorer. Start vCD8 !

o.k. maybe the image works without reading cd geometry. But I thought it would be better to turn on this function (read all wrong sectors of Safe Disk :confused: )

You can't buy this programm legal in germany ;) Against Law.
And I only use it temporarly, till a mini image appears :D

Hey Folks! Finally i did it!!!

Playing BF2142 without DVD! with your own DVD copies
i was using Alcohol 120% to make the images file but it show that it still required CD to play

That was the story begin , i try to use Daemon Tools(Newest version) as Decoy , then i was installed in my computer and open all Emulation menu "But! not mount any images on it!" (and don't create and new Virtual drive too, disable all new Virtual drive ASAP!.)

from the begining...i already have Alcohol 120% mount with my Bf2142 images , suddenly i was try to Start the game again without CD and IT WORK!!!

That game never ask me for that damn stupid CD anymore!!
sorry about my bad language but i hope everybody will slove this problem like i done

or else...hope that someone can disarm Safedisc v4 protection and create mini images to your guys soon

It won't work, what exactly do I do here?

What ?

You only installe newest version of deamon and start the exe...
then you start Bf2142 original exe without mounting anything only by using deamon in backround and you can play ? thats impossible

Just to clear things up...

... in some countries.

... in some countries. Did you know that countries have different laws? Did you know that mpsearch.ru, from which you could download MP3's for free, was (is?) legal in Russia, no matter what those fuckheads in the USA (MPAA, RIAA, whatever) say?

... which has nothing to do with games, illegal activities or anything else you mentioned. So, what's your point?

Do you understand that there's a great difference between A) creating, B) distributing and C) using cracks, from law's point of view? I would say that B) distributing may be the one that is illegal in the least number of countries...

If you think you're so smart, please, sit for ten minutes in complete silence, and find out the reason. Hint: direct and indirect breach of the law...

If you'd like to continue, you have my E-mail address below.

actually its possible, provided the image is burned using rmps.. that way the alcohol / daemon driver is still present (and thus able to do the rmps stuff), yet no virtual drives will be made (and rmps emulation being turned on of course, but for daemon 4.06 i think it actually does some stuff 'automatically'...)

sorry for my bad work
i said to mount the images by Alcohol 120% and then install Deamon Tools
you will have C,D as logic drive and F: for Alcohol's Vitrual driver
but when you install Daemon tools . it will build new virtual drive as G,H,bra bra bra...

Just Disable it!! use alcohol virtual drive only!! and Emulation Option by Daemon Tools
If you combine it well , you will can play Battlefield 2142 with ya own Images copies

edit::i already test in 2 more computer and it 100% PASSED!!

The Process goes here...
When SafeDisc v4 try to detect your Virtual drive 's programs. they will see that we have Daemon Tools but no images mouted without scaning Alcohol's Virtual drive
then the protector will unsure that our backup are REAL DVD or not because they scan the drive and found nothing in my com
Now we will can play through~

Just try!

**w.gamecopyworld.com
they have one that works
sizzz

Read a bit more on how to make with your original, but while your at it buy a legit windows lol

Then also read the rules. Just to pass the time like :)


EDIT: Ill just say :P


Left click Icon in the taskbar, goto settings, then cd/cd drives, tick the box next to "Permit Indirect Insertion......"

Then right click the icon in the taskbar, goto your real drive in the list and mount the BF2142 image, it should be listed since you made it with VirtualCD.

Then run the game.

Shoulda told him that warez groups dont send in cracks at all to GCW.

gamejack can emulate safedsic 4 on a dvd disk

only thing is you need this little 300k emulator running in the background

and a dvd image would be much more handy but atleast this way u can still back it it.

just download gamejack and check it out folks

There are no wrong/defective sectors on SD DVD media, only on CD (where this function also wouldn't make things better for Safedisc)

You are wrong informed.


There is a trial version for temporary use

... and it's a maxi image, not a mini image that works

***DELETED*** cause i misread something

blindwrite is for idiots who cant work protections out

5star game copy is by far the best DVD emulator out there
